The campaign manager for Margaret Anderson Kelliher's failed gubernatorial campaign is headed to the DFL Party to direct the party's Get Out the Vote efforts. Jaime Tincher ran Kelliher's campaign for governor. Kelliher narrowly lost the primary bid to former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton.
Tincher is a whiz at targeting likely voters and ensuring that they turn out to the polls. Her hire is also a signal that Kelliher and her loyal backers are unifying behind Dayton's campaign. She ran the DFL Party's coordinated campaign in 2008.
